Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info!

David Gilmour at Fender Strat Pack DVD - version information Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 08 May 2005

Further to our recent updates on the forthcoming Fender Strat Pack show DVD, including our full review, with screen shots, and our great competition for you to win one of FIVE copies of the DVD, we have an important update on the contents of the DVD.

The show, on September 24th 2004, which featured Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour alongside a whole host of top musicians at the London Wembley Arena, was a charity event. The concert alone raised £175,000 (around US$330,000), and the DVD is expected to swell this figure dramatically, as it is also being sold in aid of the charity. It is now available and selling strongly.

We've heard from a few people in the US and Canada, who have their copies of this DVD. The DTS surround sound option, found on the European version, is missing from the edition being sold in the US/Canada.

However, the DVD makes up for this by having a set of interviews (with The Crickets, Gary Moore, The Shadows, Mike Rutherford, Joe Walsh, Paul Rodgers, Brian May, Albert Lee, and Andy Fairweather-Low - who has long played with Roger Waters on the road) that don't appear on the European version.

UPDATE: we now understand that the company releasing the DVD in the US made an error on the packaging of the disk. Initial copies state that it contains the DTS soundtrack, and future copies will not show this error. The European copies definitely DO have the DTS soundtrack though, and is the edition that we reviewed.

If you want to place an order for either edition, at a healthy discount, you can do so by selecting either Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Amazon.ca (Canada), Amazon France, or Amazon Germany through our special links.
